Chapter 50 Pass the test
🕑 Added 2025-03-08 10:03:14 +0000 UTC“Congratulations, Mr. Yang; you are the sole remaining male applicant to proceed to our final interview. You are also the applicant who scored the highest on the foreign language test, getting the maximum score.”
While paying attention to how respectful Mo Qianni was when she spoke to him, Yang Chen was certain that something was wrong. He didn't come here to apply for the job. He just wanted to go inside the company to deliver food to his wife!
Awkwardly chuckling, he sat back down. He was too embarrassed to say anything.
As there were only four applicants remaining, Mo Qianni no longer required a microphone and spoke with a smile.
“The four of you were capable enough to pass our difficult foreign language test; it seems that all of you do have genuine talent. For the final round, we will be testing your understanding of the fashion industry and your ability to appreciate fine goods. As everybody knows, every year, Yu Lei International’s clothing design changes. And so it is considered a rather difficult task for new employees to identify which clothing belongs to our brand. In a while, there will be 10 models wearing this year’s new clothing designs shown to the four of you. In 5 minutes or less, the four of you must pick the outfit that isn’t our company’s design. There is only one chance, and if you get it right, you’ll be granted a 2-month trial contract, no questions asked.”
Yang Chen wrinkled his brows; in all honesty, his understanding of fashion could be considered nonexistent as he does not care about what he wears. In the past, his clothes were all custom-made, and he never came into contact with clothing belonging to any brand.
At the same time, in the exam room, a curtain was being pulled open, revealing 10 tall models leisurely walking forward.
The spotlight shone at them as they stood in front of the four candidates.
At that moment, the eyes of all three women displayed admiration and released a gasp of surprise. Women innately love all things beautiful. When looking at the 10 outfits in front of them, they all had different thoughts coming in and out of their minds as they started to examine each and every outfit carefully.
Each and every one of these outfits had different sorts of patterns and styles. There were leopard print dresses, lacy one-piece dresses, tutus made of chiffon, and pink long dresses with straps. There were even elegant business suits for women. The only thing they shared in common was that none of them had any traces of a brand.
When Yang Chen saw the 10 models, he first stared blankly for a while. Right after, Yang Chen began writing his answer on the given paper without any hesitation.
When 5 minutes passed, Mo Qianni clapped her hands, and an assistant walked up to collect their answer sheets. After finishing, the assistant handed the papers to her.
Giving them a brief glance, Mo Qianni displayed a flash of surprise and looked at Yang Chen with curious eyes. Pursing her lips and smiling.
“The results have already been decided. I am representing the entire Yu Lei International team to warmly welcome our new colleague, Mr. Yang Chen."
After finishing, she took the lead to clap for him. The other employees, after hearing the announcement, all looked at him with curious eyes and started to happily clap to welcome him.
However, the other 3 applicants found this hard to swallow. Their evaluating skills were lost to a man?.
One of the three was dissatisfied and inquired,
"Proctor, can you tell us the correct answer?”
After Mo Qianni quieted the people around, he smiled toward that female applicant, looked at Yang Chen, and asked,
“Mr. Yang, please tell us how you arrived at the correct answer.”
Yang Chen sighed and raised his hand, pointing to the 10th model and saying,
“I chose her.”
It was evident that the other three applicants blanked out for a moment, but afterwards, they started to look at the 10th model again.
This model was wearing a classic European Bohemian-style long dress because Bohemian ladies clothing seemed complex and difficult to grasp. Various tassels and pendants required careful matching; moreover, this type of ancient wandering gypsy freedom, along with the clothing’s mysterious air, was not something modern ladies could control, and so this type of dress was not well liked.
But because that was too obvious, the three lady candidates only took a short glance at number 10 before ruling it out.
They did not believe that after giving them such a difficult foreign language exam, such a big loophole would appear; after all, this bohemian dress was too gaudy! They kept thinking that it was a trap!
Yang Chen does not care about the three ladies’ shock and regrets, he explained.
“If I’m right, the bohemian dress Model Number 10 is wearing was handmade by an old-fashioned Italian designer. The crystals on this dress's girdle and pendants on the fringed skirt are all real and elaborately polished crystals. The diamond pieces on the chest are also real South African diamonds. In my opinion, although Yu Lei International is one of the top 10 fashion brands in the country, they can’t possibly be using this many high-class natural crystals and diamonds just to make this dress, right?”
This time, not just the three candidates but even all the other Yu Lei International’s employees revealed an expression of disbelief. They originally thought Yang Chen could only tell that this dress wasn’t cheap, but they did not expect Yang Chen to even recognize the origins of this dress clearly!
What everyone present doesn’t know is that Yang Chen was extremely happy inside. The designer of this dress was the old fella who used to make custom-made dress shirts for him.
'I wore the clothes for so many years; how can I not recognize this style and this level of extravagance? Nobody else in this world can compare with me in understanding this guy’s style!'
…
Due to Yang Chen’s performance at the examination, the attention of all Yu Lei International Headquarters employees was on him.
Even the women that he was going to work with looked at such an intelligent man as a popular discussion topic over tea time. Even before officially starting work, he has already been recognized by a vast majority of people.
After the test, Mo Qianni led him over to the PR Department located on the 18th floor of the Yu Lei building. This whole floor belongs to the PR Department.
Entering the workplace, Yang Chen found a group of people standing up and clapping for him. Since the absolute majority of the people there were women, when a man is capable enough of joining, the women all become excited.
Mo Qianni looked at Yang Chen, and she then tried to look for his resume but found nothing in the document bag.
"Please wait here for a moment. It looked like I had missed your resume. I will get it real quick. In the meantime, please introduce yourself to your colleague."
Mo Qianni smiled apologetically and hurriedly left to retrieve Yang Chen's resume.
Yang Chen could only shake his head. How could she find his resume when he didn't come here to find a job in the first place.
